THIS 2-CD AUDIOBOOK IS ALL ABOUT LISTENING TO VETERANS.
Camouflage & Lace is not some slick, Hollywood-produced fairy tale of war. It is a true, real-voice audiobook with all the accompanying flaws, read and sung by the aging author and a host of war veterans. Experience it with an open heart.
If you are a veteran, know a veteran or love a veteran who has returned from overseas disillusioned and/or in pieces, this might help you understand.
Diane's story is already being relived by the loved ones and families of today's veterans. For all our sakes, even if you don't hear these CDs, please listen to the voices of veterans in your world. It's the boots on the ground -- not the politicians in Washington -- who know the truth. The world needs to hear what they have to say. We owe them that much.
HONOR THE WARRIOR, NOT THE WAR.
Diane Ford Wood co-founded Vetspeak.org in 2005 because of her passion to ensure that the voices of veterans get heard and are not pushed aside or discredited as they were in the Vietnam era.

HEAR IT - SMELL IT - FEEL IT!
author: Bad Bill...USMC RVN 1965-66 & 1968 VVAW 1971 - 1975
This is so powerful that by taking out the time, closing your eyes and listening without distraction; it is like traveling through a wormhole back in time to the moments that Diane is describing in word and song. It takes you there...you can hear it, smell it, and feel it. If you were there during these times you will be there again. It lends validation to an important and heroic movement. If you weren't there in those days, then as a listener; you will experience a lesson in true love, adventure, history, and patriotism. This is the tip of the iceberg of an important part of our modern history..both factual and political. Diane has the soul of a White Dove...her music is alive, and her message is powerful...and peaceful. My soul is quieter and more restive, thanks to this artfully produced experience. Thank you, Diane.
